====== Lessons ====== ---- ===== Lesson 1 ===== ==== Motion ==== Motion (along with momentum and energy) is one of the building blocks to our treatment of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. * You will understand how velocity relates to distance and time. * You'll become experienced with two of our three "motion diagrams": Space-Diagrams and Spacetime Diagrams. * You'll be able to calculate velocities from $v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t};$ accelerations from $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t};$ and, by limiting ourselves to constant acceleration, you'll learn that the distance traveled under that condition is $x = \frac{1}{2}at^2$. * Finally, you'll appreciate that the "falling" near the earth is due to a constant acceleration which was found by Galileo Galilei, but not understood until Isaac Newton. === lesson videos (about 130 minutes) === ^section/video^approximate viewing time^**complete before class number:** | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/1_motion/_1.1_motion_aveV_v3f_wm/|1.1 constant velocity]]|39 min (covered first day)| January 12, class 2 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/1_motion/_1.2_motion_units_wm_v2f/|1.2 units and vectors]]|29 min (covered first day)| 2 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/1_motion/_1.3_motion_accel_v2_wm/|1.3 constantly accelerated motion]]|16 min (covered first day)| 2 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/1_motion/_1.4_motion_galileo_g_wm/|1.4 Galileo's analysis of falling motion ]]|30 min| 2 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/1_motion/_1.5_motion_projectiles_v2_wmq/|1.5 projectile motion]]|23 min| 2 | === examples === === TBA === === extras === [[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/1_motion/_vector_addition.mp4|vector addition and subtraction]] 19 min [[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/1_motion/_light_years.mp4|light-years]] 15 min [[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/1_motion/_airbus.mp4|airbus 330 300 speed at V1]] 7 min ---- ===== Lesson 2 Momentum and Force ===== Momentum! is one of Newton's very important "discoveries" and we'll use it repeatedly. It's $p=mv$…where $m$ is mass (another Newton invention) and $v$ is velocity. * You'll learn how momentum is related to force as $F\Delta t = \Delta p $ * You'll play with Newton's 3 laws of motion, but we'll not dwell on details of force problems like you would in a comprehensive physics course. Again, we're aiming at Relativity! * We'll spend most of our time on linear momentum ideas, but we will need to cover circular motion in order to follow Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. * You'll learn how to play golf. === lesson videos (about 58 minutes === ^section/video^approximate viewing time^**complete before class number:** | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/2_momentum_force/_2.1_momentum_wmQ_v2/|2.1 momentum and impulse]]|30 min| 2 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/2_momentum_force/_2.2_momentum_laws_v1/|2.2 Newton's laws]]|20 min| 2 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/2_momentum_force/_2.3_momentum_forceresolve_v1/|2.3 balancing forces]]|7.5 min| 2 | === extras === [[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/2_momentum_force/guyfalling.mp4|guy falling!]] [[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/2_momentum_force/thirdlaw.mp4|third law]] [[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/2_momentum_force/_2.4_momentum_circular_wmq_v1/|2.4 circular motion]] 34 min ---- ===== Lesson 3 Collisions ===== Much of our interest in particle physics comes from analyzing collisions of protons with protons (or antiprotons!), electrons with antielectrons, or neutrinos with protons, and so on. We'll concentrate on just a few configurations of one thing colliding with one thing. Buried in this discussion is the important concept of momentum conservation. * You'll learn how collisions "conserve" momentum…and about the crucial idea of "conservation laws." Nature loves conservation laws. * You'll see neutrinos. * You'll learn to skate and how to become a neutron star. === lesson videos (about 64 minutes) === ^section/video^approximate viewing

Detectors, and Telescopes ===== ---- Our first particle discovery! The electron emerged as a result of improved technology that made a simple "particle accelerator" to be invented and exploited by JJ Thomson. Particle accelerators and particle detectors are a part of our QS&BB story, but not in an engineering sense: you don't need to build one, just appreciate how they work. Telescopes are also particle detectors as they utilize the entire electromagnetic spectrum. === lesson videos (about 198 minutes) === ^section/video^approximate viewing time^**complete before class number:** | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/10_Accelerators_Detectors/10.1_AcceleratorsDetectors_electron_v1/|10.1 Discovery of the Electron]] |24 min| February 7, imaginary Tuesday class 9 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/10_Accelerators_Detectors/10.2a_AcceleratorsDetectors_kindsAcc_v1/|10.2a Modern Accelerators 1]] |22 min| 9 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/10_Accelerators_Detectors/10.2b_AcceleratorsDetectors_kindsAcc_v1/|10.2b Modern Accelerators 2]] |35 min| February 9, actual Thursday class 10 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/10_Accelerators_Detectors/10.3_AcceleratorsDetectors_LHC_v1/|10.3 The LHC Program]] |35 min| 10 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/10_Accelerators_Detectors/10.4_AcceleratorsDetectors_theoryEx_v1/|10.4 Jobs of Theory and Experiment]] |8 min| 10 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/10_Accelerators_Detectors/10.5_AcceleratorsDetectors_LumCross_v1/|10.5 How to Calculate Event Rates]] |23 min| 10 | | [[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/10_Accelerators_Detectors/10.6_AcceleratorsDetectors_higgsCalc_wm_v1/|10.6 Calculation of the 2012 Higgs Boson Event Totals]] |13 min| 10 | |[[https://qstbb.pa.msu.edu/storage/10_Accelerators_Detectors/10.7_AcceleratorsDetectors_ionization_v1/|10.7 Ionization Detectors]] |38 min| February 14, imaginary Tuesday class 11 | | | | | ---- ===== Lesson X Title ===== ---- Motion (along with momentum and energy) is one of the building blocks to our treatment of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity === lesson videos (about XX minutes) === ^section/video^approximate viewing time^**complete before class number:** | | |39 min| 1 | | |29 min| 1 | | |16 min| 1 | | |30 min| 1 | | |23 min| 2 | here === extras === here \\
